About Elina

I'd describe my personality as genuine, patient, and reliable. I love working with animals because they are purehearted and bring genuine happiness to people. I'm especially passionate about dogs, I rescued my first one a few years ago and still foster whenever I can. I'm currently working as a family educator and looking for a flexible job. I enjoy working with children, teens, and families. I majored in Psychology so I understand how to build and respect relationships. In my free time I enjoy hiking with my dogs, spending time with family, playing board games, being outdoors, and reading. I come from a big family of eight kids and, as the oldest girl, I naturally took on a leadership role. I've always been like a second mom, helping manage routines and staying calm during stressful situations. I've also worked professionally with children and families for over two years. My top pet care skills are being calm, gentle, consistent with routines, and highly attentive to behavior changes.
